According to reports, Middlesbrough, Derby County and Wigan Athletic have shown an interest in Sheffield Wednesday’s Lee Gregory.

According to the Daily Mail, Boro, Derby and Wigan are all keeping tabs on the forward’s situation as we approach the start of the next transfer window – however the plus side from an Owls perspective is the fact that, unlike so many others, he does still have a year left on his deal at S6 going into this summer.

The Latics and Boro will be playing in the Championship next season, while the Rams will be in League One with Wednesday.

It remains to be seen if anything will come of the reported interest, but Darren Moore will no doubt be desperate to keep his number nine going into a difficult 2022/23 campaign where they’ll be hoping to secure promotion back into the Championship at the second time of asking.

Plenty of Wednesday exits are expected in the coming weeks as a number of contracts run out at the end of June, but a departure for the club's top scorer would come as a major blow for everybody at the club.
